    I had these headlights installed and now the LED running lights won't work. The shop I took it to can't seem to figure it out! It's so frustrating!!! Any help? I realize the LED's are plug and play so to speak but something must have happened...they worked when I brought it in.

    Are all of the other lights functioning as expected? Check the connectors. Did you have to add a fuse for the LED’s to work? Pull the headlight out and hook it up to auxiliary power and see if it ignites.

    The LED's that were already there were factory installed and worked before I went in. The other lights are functioning.

    A few... Definitely more than 2
    One very important note with how these trucks are wired. Stock, the DRL and blinkers are turned on with the same wire. Most aftermarket headlights will use a fuse tap to the ignition circuit to turn on a "new" DRL circuit. If you can trace some wires off the back of the headlights and snap some pictures of what is there I might be able to help more but there are a few things that can be going on.

    Thank you, I will share your comments with the installers in hopes they can figure it out.

    Are you saying the DRL lights worked before the install and now don't? Do the turn signals still work? Do you get hyper flash while using turn signal or a solid arrow light?

    for some reason I'm playing my bets that it needs decoders plug in between the factory plug and DRL plug. If it was switched from a standard bulb to LED. (LED Decoder) is the term , fixes the issue with vehicles thinking low amp draw is a dead bulb and not sending power also stores power and acts as anti flicker. If the same DRL circuit is also the turn signals, don't be surprised if you also have to swap out the turn signal relay (underdash) for one rated for led's.
